"We are certainly in unprecedented times and we don’t really know what things are going to look like, but this isn’t the first time we’ve been able to say that."
Brian Edwards, SU Law Class of 2012
Unprecedented times. We've become very familiar with that phrase, but what does it look and feel like for law students and recent graduates who are navigating a job search in this moment? CPD has checked in with many of you over these past weeks and we've appreciated hearing what's on your mind as you face an uncertain job market.
Though this moment is unlike any other, there are always lessons to be gleaned from those who've gone before. In that spirit, the Center for Professional Development is launching a summer interview series, Job Talk Tuesdays. Every Tuesday, during the months of May, June, and July, we'll share an interview with a Seattle U Law alum who was in law school during the Great Recession. Through their stories you'll learn strategies for success and helpful mindsets, and you'll have the opportunity to see what things look like once you come out on the other side. Tune in every Tuesday to benefit from the reflection and hindsight of alumni with grit!
This week, we interviewed Brian Edwards, Senior Attorney at McKinley Irvin. Brian was in law school from 2009 to 2012 and through pivoting and persistence has built a successful family law career.
